MINI EXCAVATORS

2

The extremely compact dimensions make the 24SR (reduced rear rotation range) and 25ZT (zero tail) your best allies to satisfy all your working needs.

3

ZERO TAIL

Both models can be equipped with four upright roll-bar protection or cab. The choice allows unmatched versatility: minimum footprint for maximum performance.

LIKE THE GREATEST, JUST SMALLER.

DIMENSIONS

The 25ZT can rotate inside its own track width, even when the cab door is open. With the rear zero tail, the operator does not need to check the manoeuvring space during excavation operations.

4

The ergonomic driver seat includes servo assisted controls, wrist rests and motion levers with closing pedals.The foot rest pedals give the operator greater stability during the different work stages, especially when working on slopes.

5

COMFORT, SAFETY AND FUNCTIONALITY: FINALLY TOGETHER.

COMMANDS AND CONTROLS

Both models have two motion modes: first gear with reduced speed and high thrust force and second speed with greater transfer speed. Everything is controlled by a practical button above the backfill blade lever.Motion can be controlled using the advancement lever and integrated folding pedals that, once closed, increase the space available to the operator and prevent accidental use.

The foot board flush with the door makes for stepless exit from the cab and facilitates floor cleaning operations. It was designed to be able to be removed easily to carry out any inspections or checks.

AUTO TWO SPEEDWhen the excavator needs more thrust force, the automatic speed transmission intervenes, reducing the motion ratio.

STRAIGHT TRAVELIn case of simultaneous control of the services and motion, the hydraulic system with variable displacement pumps simultaneously ensures the fluidity of movements and straight driving of the machine.

6

AUX

The cabin, with its generous interior dimensions, offers some of the best interior space in its class.The large width of the access door makes it easy to climb in and out.

The front windshield with assisted lift promotes maximum visibility due to its considerable width.The adjustable suspension seat combined with the floating cabin, adequately dampens vibrations and bumps, maximizing operator comfort.

The cab version is also equipped with a glove compartment, a battery charger and a predisposition for the autoradio.

For quick and easy machine operation, the tilting controls and auxiliary hydraulic system controls are located on the joysticks.

EVERY CONTROL IS IN YOUR HANDS.

7

EVERY CONTROL IS IN YOUR HANDS.

VISIBILITY

The special design of the body and protective structures give the operator a wide field of vision, allowing easy control of the front tracked part.

The large windshield along with the upper rear window lets the operator keep an eye on the entire work area while remaining comfortably seated.

WORK LIGHTSA powerful light installed on the arm optimizes visibility even with low lighting.

8

The position and design of the cab were designed to offer the operator the greatest possible visibility of all areas around the machine and the work area.

FLEXIBILITY, COMPACTNESS, ERGONOMICS.

EFFICIENCY AND CONSUMPTION

The heart of the excavators is the efficient YANMAR 3TNV76 - Stage 5 engine designed and built to optimize performance and reduce fuel consumption.The long intervals between programmed maintenance contribute to economic efficiency, reducing costs and machine downtime.

OPTIONAL COUNTERWEIGHT

SAFETY

Machine safety means operator peace of mind. Sensors monitoring the manipulator position prevent accidental control of the machine. The excavator startup system does not allow ignition when control of the commands is active. Safety belts, the cabin structure and rollbar with FOPS level I and TOPS certificate provide all of the safety needed in the cab in the event of an accident.

The practical additional external ballast (optional) can, when needed, further increase the excellent operating stability without compromising the overall size of the machine.

10

The compact size and overall weight below 25 quintals make the machine suitable for loading on a trailer, making it possible to transport a complete range of equipment and accessories.

TRANSPORT ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.

11

TRANSPORT ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.

ACCESSIBILITY The cab can be lifted by simply opening the rear compartment and removing the two mounting screws.

MAINTENANCE HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY.

Quick and easy tipping of the cab gives easy access to the distributor and the main components of the hydraulic system: just a few gestures for major added value.

12

FUSE

The large gas tank built into the rear compartment allows accessibility and above ordinary routine maintenance.The rear engine compartment offers quick access to all filters on the heat engine (fuel, oil and air) in addition to easy topping up of fuel and motor oil.

The side compartment opens to allow easy checks and cleaning of the heat exchanger and hydraulic oil filter.

All access points for daily checks and for routine maintenance are concentrated in defined areas, optimizing machine downtime.All elements are easily accessible and located in practical and functional positions.

The location of the cabin aeration filters allow them to be quickly checked and replaced if necessary.

ACCESSIBILITY Common or dedicated access areas make every maintenance operation quick and easy.

13

BUILT-IN TANKThe added value in the 24SR and the 25ZT is the presence of the fuel tank built into the rear ballast, which makes it unique in its class.

14

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING RELIABLE.

RELIABILITY

Designed and tested for high performance with continuous reliability.The definition of the materials, the selection of components and design of the structures were created to exceed the most stressful and harsh work tests.Standing out among these are the rotation column in fusion, the protections on the lifting cylinder and the steel blade and bonnets that increase efficiency and life of the product.

LIFTING CAPACITY

The lifting capacity is based on ISO 10567 and does not exceed 75% of the static tipping load or 87% of the hydraulic lifting capacity of the machine.

The straddle refers to the centre of rotation.* Indicates the hydraulic load limit.0 m refers to ground level. The machine is understood to be equipped with a cab, rubber tracks, without a bucket and without a quick coupling.
